What is best, Omni Cannon/Laser or Cannon/Laser?

[Rivet]

Compare! Right click one, mouse over the other.

Highest DPS for cannon/laser? But I always add a minigun for defense (fighters/rockets) and I like my leech beam. Torpedos have low DPS but do quite a lot of damage too. I think a good mix should work well.

well,dps sime to be the same, but still, what is the difrence between omni and normal, i cant sime to see the difrence

i have finish the game by the way and yes, leath, range beams sim to be the best weapons

[Tovarisch Vasin]

Omni supposed to have wider angle and thats it, dps is the same. And its angle is actually worse in some cases.

[KHAN]

well, i tend to sircle a target, so i gues it dosnt matter, but on other words, they are basicly the same

[KHAN]

ah, now i see the difrence, the omni is 1 barrel guns and normal is double barrel guns

[fodder]

just had a thought... didn't omni in spaz 1 have 360 field of fire? can't they just raise the turret so it gets 360 field of fire? (from top down anyway...)

[KHAN]

the normal guns go 360

[Cathulhu]

In Spaz 1 there was no Omni, all weapons had 360° firing arcs. As long as they were mounted on a turret and not a fixed mount.
Medium and Large parts actually can fire in every direction, only tiny and Small parts are limited. That's why i only use missiles as small parts later on.

The simple explanation:

Omnis are mounted on top of the part and can fire across the ship if you bank hard enough.

Normals are mounted on the side, and cannot.

Omis also have less damage due to less pew pew. standard small parts have two guns, omnis only one.

That's... not true.

Omni lasers and normal lasers have the same DPS.
If you're referring to cannons then a normal cannon is 0.5dps x2, an omni cannon is 1.0dps x1.

Well, given that cannons can miss, I always go with more dakka instead of the omni stuff. They still make for nice strike craft defense even when they cant aim at the enemy properly

[KHAN]

after what i have seen, in SPAZ2 omnis are single barrels side mounded guns, vild the normal is doublebarrel top monted, therby the normal ones have 360

[F200]

the normal one is 360 degree and the omni is somthing like 180 degree.
